People from the Red Chamber in the Times

The millennium has come quietly but grandly.

It is quiet because this New Year’s Day is no different from the previous ones. After so many years of exaggeration, the mysterious end of the world has not come, except for a Y[-]K computer virus that is often heard in the news. It is said that Quite seriously, people's daily lives have not changed in any other way.For the Lin family, it is no different from every public holiday before. It is a family of five at home, the adults are busy with making ends meet, and the children focus on their hobbies.

It's grand, after all, it's the millennium, and it's only been two times since humans came into existence.Various celebrations are held all over the world.Even in small counties, there are some fashionable shops that decorate their stores in festive ways to attract customers.

For the three young students of the Lin family, the happiest thing about New Year's Day is that the winter vacation will start in ten days.Lin Yue walks to and from school every day. It's cold, so she just wants to take the winter vacation and be lazy.The girls in the city are even more pitiful. Teacher Xiao Zhao is reluctant to burn coal at home, and the dormitory is so cold that if you put a glass of water in the morning, it will freeze to ice when you come back from school at night.Only at night can the heater be turned on for a while.Talking in the room is full of breath.

The students prepared for the final exam by themselves in the room wearing quilts, hats and gloves, and each had a hot water bottle.

Daiyu is like this, she is completely out of control, and she stops exercising automatically when the temperature drops to minus ten degrees in the morning.Every time after supper, he would burrow into the bed and refuse to come out again.After Jia Min heard her daughter go home and talk about the conditions in the dormitory, she was so distressed that she gave 100 yuan to each of them to buy another thermos and a few more hot water bottles.At least it would be good to warm the bed.

All dormitories have this condition, it is really impossible.The cost is too much, parents can't accept it, think it's black, and there is competition.If you need less and you have to earn money, you can only save on food and expenses.Fortunately, Mr. Zhao’s house does not limit hot water. According to students who live in other dormitories in the class, some dormitories only allow one pot of hot water a day!Just enough to wash your face and feet.To wash underwear and socks, you can only use cold water.

Boys are better, but girls at this age have menstruated, and their stomachs are uncomfortable for a few days, and they feel uncomfortable when they touch cold water, so let's not mention it.

Daiyu was young and didn't have that trouble. Every month when Lin Xing came there, she would take the initiative to help with the laundry, and she didn't have anything to dislike. Normally, her sister didn't dislike her, and of course she wouldn't either. Dislike her sister.

Jia Min never let them wash the big clothes, and told them to keep them for washing at home, and even bought a few more sets of autumn clothes and long johns for them.Now that the big things in the house are all set up, the washing machine is bought for use, how can she be willing to let her daughter touch cold water in winter!

"Hey, it can't be done without old people." After taking his daughter home during the winter vacation, Lin Dahai told Jia Minmin that his parents didn't enjoy the blessings for a day, and they died within two years after finishing their sons' marriages. gone.In Jia’s house, there is only one old lady left. She is over 70 years old. She is angry at her two sons who are worthless. It is also impossible to borrow strength.

"But let's talk! Even if one of the two old people can do it, can we still rent a room in the city and just cook for the children, and we don't need our daughter to suffer this crime!" Jia Min also sighed with emotion.

Other families dislike the inconvenience of the elderly, and the sons blame each other for not wanting to provide for the elderly. They want to provide for the elderly, but they don't.In the summer, they also said that they would take over the old lady of the Jia family. When they were busy, they could still be with Lin Yue or something. As a result, when Jia Boss and Jia Laoer heard that the girl wanted to pick up the old man, they opened their mouths and asked for money. The old lady was going to fight against the Lin family or something, and she was so angry that the old lady fell ill again. She had to receive injections for half a month, and said that she would not come to the daughter's house for anything, and would take turns at the two sons' houses. Live and let them feed.He also said that if they treat her badly at all, they will sue them.

The old lady is also a gangster, but she can't be herself and suffers. None of her sons and daughters-in-law are successful, so she can look in a better mood.Life is also not good, and I can't even afford the smooth ones.Since the two villages were not a few steps away, Jia Min went home to visit his old lady when he was free, and bought some food and other things for him. Where the old lady lived, his brother and his family followed suit.Jia Min doesn't care about his brothers and sisters-in-law, for the sake of the old man, there is nothing he can do!
